Chapter 201 Su Peisheng (30)
Zhen Huan couldn't believe it. What did she hear?
The emperor called her heartless just because of this?
Didn't she accompany the emperor to Zhongcui Palace as soon as she heard the news in the morning, without even having time to change her headdress and clothes?
Will I be scolded for this?
The Emperor is clearly taking his anger out on others!
Zhen Huan kept apologizing and said that she would go back to change her clothes, but she kept sneering in her heart: Humph! Just because of this, I am considered heartless? What will happen when the emperor finds out that I killed Yun Xinluo?
She had originally felt guilty for poisoning her mother to death in order to win favor, but this guilt had completely disappeared because of the emperor's reprimand.
Mother, if you want to blame someone, just blame the emperor. It's all because of him that our Zhen family is broken up, my father is gone, Huanbi is gone, and we, mother and daughter, have finally come to this point.
However, who doesn’t understand the emperor’s virtue?
He would only grieve for a short while over his mother's death. Maybe before the seventh day of his mother's death, he would start to favor himself again.
After all, in this palace, apart from her mother, she was the only one who looked most like Chun Yuan.
Zhen Huan looked sad, but she was thinking proudly in her heart that as long as she had this face, she would be invincible!
She did guess part of it right. Fat Ju did start favoring someone else again before even the seventh day of Concubine Wan's death. But unfortunately, that person was not her.
Zhen Yurao has grown into a big girl.
She was also wearing mourning because of her mother's death. You know, the saying "a girl should be beautiful if she is in mourning" is not for nothing.
Zhen Yurao is more like Chun Yuan than Zhen Huan. She is confused and uneasy because of her mother's death, her relationship with her elder sister has not been close in recent years, and her family outside the palace has been raided.
When Pang Ju was commemorating Concubine Wan, seeing her crying so pitifully, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
So, it was natural that before the seventh day after Concubine Wan's death, a new Concubine Wan appeared in the palace.
Zhen Huan was almost going crazy.
The emperor could favor her mother and her younger sister, but why didn't he even look at her? Was she so annoying to him?
In order to gain favor, she had already killed her own mother. Was she going to kill her own sister again? In fact, since she had already killed her own mother, Zhen Huan would not be afraid to kill another sister.
But what she was afraid of was that if she killed Yu Rao, the emperor would find someone who looked more like Chun Yuan than she did from some corner. She couldn't just kill one if she killed one, or kill two if she killed two, right?
There are so many beauties in the world. There must be more than just the three of them who look like Chun Yuan. If I get rid of one, and the emperor starts to favor other Chun Yuan figures again, wouldn't I be making things easier for others?
This one now, after all, is still my biological sister. Although their relationship has faded a bit in the past two years, blood is thicker than water. When I am at home, my sister still listens to me, the eldest sister. My younger sister is not as cunning as my mother, so I can't coax her into being on my side. After a long time, it won't be difficult for her to recommend me more in front of the emperor.
While Zhen Huan was secretly plotting in her heart, everyone else in the palace was so angry that they almost gritted their teeth.
The Queen was furious. Ever since the Queen Mother passed away, the Emperor treated her even colder. And because she had no one to back her up, she was cautious in her actions. Finally, the Emperor got tired of Yun Xinluo and started to visit everyone in the harem, but Yun Xinluo fell asleep at this time!
After her death, the emperor felt extremely guilty, thinking that it was because he suddenly favored someone else that she was sad and depressed to death. Yun Xinluo died, but she left behind a little daughter who looked 80% like Chunyuan.
The emperor placed all his feelings, including his love for Chun Yuan, his guilt towards Yun Xinluo, and his favor for young women, on Zhen Yurao - he began to favor Zhen Yurao again.
Not only the Queen, but everyone in the harem was furious now, hating Yun Xinluo for not choosing the right time to die. They had just gained a little favor, and Yun Xinluo had done this to them, and now they were going to be living widows again!
The resentment of the concubines in the harem is heavier than that of ghosts!
Is Fat Orange's harem the domain of the Zhen family women? Others can't even get a share of the broth, let alone the meat scraps. What hope is there in this life?
This day is certainly something to look forward to!
An Lingrong is pregnant again, and Su Peisheng is overjoyed.
But while he was happy, he also felt a little irritated. He had to find a way to register the child. Given Fat Orange's current obsession with and love for Zhen Yurao, this registration would be a little difficult.
Fortunately, Su Peisheng was anxious, but there were people who were more anxious than him. Wen Shichu and Shen Meizhuang, the dog-licking couple, finally got together. Jinghe has been in her belly for a month now, right?
Wait for Shen Meizhuang to take action first, and then lead Pangju to An Lingrong in the name of "giving face to Hong Zao's biological mother".
Shen Meizhuang still used the method of "you can lose the bracelet, but not the love". She had been ignoring Pangju since the fake pregnancy, but now she suddenly came to her senses and took the initiative to find Pangju to reconcile. Pangju, the masochist, was very happy. Thinking that the opportunity was not to be missed, if he rejected her advances this time, he might not have this opportunity in the future, so he happily ran to make love with Shen Meizhuang.
Su Peisheng took the opportunity to register his second child.
Although the child's hukou was stable this time, Su Peisheng was still a little dissatisfied. How could working for others be as exciting as being your own boss?
Although he fully understood the character of Fat Ju and knew how to use his personality to achieve his own goals, he always had to find excuses and coax Fat Ju to come. After a long time, Su Peisheng got a little annoyed.
How can coaxing a fat orange be as happy as coaxing your own son?
Calculating the time, Hongzao is already seven years old. Well, Emperor Kangxi also ascended the throne at the age of eight. It just so happens that Lingrong has almost learned all the political affairs that she should learn now, and it is time for her to experience the happiness of Emperor Zetian. Thinking of this, Su Peisheng decided that after Lingrong was born, he would send Fatty Orange on his way.
But, oh my, how should I get Fatty Orange down this time?
Ma Shangfeng's moves have been used for several small worlds, and they are no longer fresh. Let's change the style. What is the best way to kill Fatty Orange?
There is no rush. Lingrong still has nearly a year to go before she gives birth and recuperates. He has plenty of time to think about it slowly.
Back to the present, the emperor is now in his fifties, and he made two of his concubines pregnant at once this year. While he is happy that he is going to have more children, he is also proud that he is still in good shape.
Although Fat Ju is a cold-hearted bastard, at his age now, he only has Hongzhao as his child. Let alone the comments of the court officials, he himself may be anxious.
Because of these two pieces of great news at once, Pangju attached great importance to the two pregnancies. Not only did he ask Su Peisheng to pick out the best things in his warehouse to send to the two pregnant women, he also assigned specific people to specific tasks, and asked Er Lingzi, the head of the Imperial Hospital, and Wen Shichu, the second in command, to be in charge of An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang's fetuses respectively.
A person of "high character" like Shen Meizhuang didn't care whether she could get a good reward or not, so Su Peisheng understood her very well and only picked out some big and bulky things from the Fat Orange Warehouse that could only be used as decorations and were flashy and useless and carried them over.
As for his wife An Lingrong, of course he would pick the one who gets the most benefits! Su Peisheng could mistreat anyone but not An Lingrong. However, there was still Yixiu, an expert in abortion, in the palace. It would be better to let Shen Meizhuang have the limelight. It would be best if she could attract Yixiu's attention by herself, and then An Lingrong would get the benefits and have a beautiful baby.
Su Peisheng himself was not afraid of Yixiu, but mainly because he wanted to send Yixiu away before Fatty Ju left. Even if he didn't send her away, at least Yixiu had to step down. Otherwise, even if Hong Zao succeeded to the throne, Yixiu would still be the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager. How disgusting would that be?
And their Lingrong will be the Empress Dowager in the future, how can she compete with Yixiu at this juncture? At least on the surface, it is best for Lingrong not to be involved in Yixiu's resignation. Otherwise, Yixiu will be ousted by her, and then An Lingrong will become the only Empress Dowager with real power. Isn't this just waiting for others to imagine?
Su Peisheng hopes that An Lingrong will be criticized as little as possible. Yixiu should be left to Shen Dacongming and Zhen Nuzhong Zhuge to deal with. It would be best if these two groups fight to their heart's content and both lose in the end.
Well, you know what, Su Peisheng's trick is really useful. After registering the two children, Pangju has been hanging out with Zhen Yurao again. He usually leaves the work of distributing things to concubines to Su Peisheng.
This made it possible for Su Peisheng's previous plan to be implemented.
Su Peisheng gave An Lingrong a lot of rewards, but they were far less ostentatious than those he gave to Shen Meiyu.
Su Peisheng found a dozen young eunuchs and took the opportunity to give all the things in Fat Orange Warehouse that he thought were ugly, big and bulky to Shen Meizhuang.
Although it was not as loud as gongs and drums and firecrackers, it was still a huge crowd and a grand scene. A group of eunuchs in front of the emperor, carrying a pile of rewards that looked very spectacular, went to Huipin Shen Meizhuang to congratulate her on her pregnancy.
On the contrary, Concubine Jing was already a concubine and had given birth to the emperor's only son, Hongzao. Only Xiao Xiazi came with a little eunuch and carried a few gift boxes to give the reward.
Although Xiao Xiazi was the second in command in front of the emperor and had a good status, and the gift boxes he gave to An Lingrong were not small, the comparison could not stand up!
Compared with the excitement at Huipin's place, Jingfei's place is far behind. For example, it's like two classmates sitting at the same table were admitted to prestigious universities. The principal not only gave the student who was admitted to a remote 211 university a speech about his success to the whole school, took photos, published advertisements, and put up banners to commend him, but also gave him a bonus of 985 yuan; on the contrary, the student who was admitted to a Beijing university only had his class teacher say a few words of congratulations to him, and the school only gave him a bonus of yuan.
Logically speaking, one should be happy to receive congratulations and rewards, but under such a sharp contrast, even people with a very good mentality probably cannot let it go easily, and anyone can see the bias of the superior.
Also, since Su Peisheng was the most favored person around the emperor, the fact that he chose to lead a group of young eunuchs to congratulate Concubine Hui was very telling.
Moreover, Shen Zishan is still a powerful figure, and Concubine Jing's family can't even find a decent person. The Queen looked at Concubine Hui's belly with an increasingly unfriendly look.
