Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1095 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 21

Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi also found it hard to believe that their old rival was now the winner. Concubine Yi, in particular, sneered, "The late emperor should really open his eyes and see what he doted on back then!"

At that time, Defei was a maid in the palace of Empress Xiaoyi. She climbed into the bed of Empress Xiaoyi under the pretext of being recommended by her, and pretended to be the jealous and fickle Empress Xiaoyi to the outside world. However, she won the late emperor's pity and was promoted to a concubine right from the start. Later, when she gave birth to the Fourth Prince, she was promoted to a noble lady, and the late emperor also bestowed her with the title "De".

Later, the Fourth Prince was brought to Empress Xiaoyi to be raised. She took the opportunity to be promoted to concubine and moved out of Chengqian Palace. She used the excuse that Empress Xiaoyi did not allow her to see the child, and by the way, she also established herself as a loving mother.

Concubine Hui was not so indignant, she just told the truth: "That's because she is very scheming and cunning. She belittled and tortured the emperor in the past, but she helped him ascend to the throne and brought her the honor of being the empress dowager."

Concubine Yi's sneer became more obvious. "I admire her luck, but I don't know if she can always be so lucky from now on."

Concubine Hui really understood. "Just wait and see. She doesn't even favor her own daughter-in-law, but she wants to use Nian Gengyao's sister to compete with the queen. She will suffer in the future!"

The two old sisters separated in front of Prince Heng's mansion. Concubine Yi was eagerly looking forward to more exchanges between the two families. If nothing else, just watching the jokes of their old rivals in the palace would be enough for them to live a few more years.

Although Concubine Hui is currently living in the former Prince Lian's Mansion, the head of the family, Prince Lian, was stripped of his title and imprisoned, and is now locked up in the clan house. Hongwang, who is the head of the family, is a bald prince. Not only does he have no title, but he can only study now. Everything in the family depends on this old woman to manage.

But she has grandchildren, and now that the two families are slowly resuming their exchanges, she has to think more about her grandchildren.

Of course, it's not that Hongwang is a bad person, it's just that her grandson Hongyu is only living a slightly better life than Hongwang now. At least the Prince Zhi's Mansion has Zhang Jia, who has not been deprived of the title of princess, to support it, and Hongyu has three older sisters who are all Fumeng and can have some say.

Concubine Hui thought about it and thought that her adopted son, the Eighth Son, had been imprisoned in the Clan House and was completely under the emperor's control. That meant there was still the Tenth Son outside who could take care of him, but the Tenth Son took better care of the Ninth Son, who was also imprisoned in the Clan House. As long as the Ninth Son gave in, the Tenth Son would take the Ninth Son with him to serve the emperor.

Of course, it was the job of Concubine Yi and Prince Heng to persuade the Ninth Prince.

Therefore, in order to embarrass the Empress Dowager, vent the Queen's anger, and avenge himself, he could only start with the Fourteenth Prince who was far away in the imperial mausoleum.

That’s right, Concubine Hui also set her sights on the Fourteenth Prince who was guarding the imperial mausoleum.

Concubine Hui was also from the Nara clan, but her family was not the Ula Nara clan. She had a lot of manpower available. After all, her family had not worked in the Imperial Household Department since the Three Feudatories. So when the Imperial Household Department was cleaned up, although she suffered heavy losses, she was not seriously hurt at all. Most of her family members served in the army and had already started their careers in the court.

But she also has people who can get things done.

As soon as Concubine Hui made a move, she naturally discovered the intention of Concubine Hua's brother Nian Gengyao. She quickly withdrew her men. Having spent her whole life in the late emperor's harem, she was sure that there must be more than just Nian Gengyao's hand behind the scenes. It was just that Nian Gengyao wanted to add some medicine that would affect offspring to the aphrodisiac given to the Fourteenth Prince, so she quickly withdrew all her men.

Of course, Fat Ju belatedly discovered Concubine Hui's actions, but he had no intention of avenging the Fourteenth Prince. He even felt reluctant when he saw that the Queen Mother was willing to use the few remaining manpower in her hands to investigate the truth for the Fourteenth Prince, and even threatened him, the eldest son who had brought her glory, with her own life, in order to overturn the Fourteenth Prince's case.

Big Fat Orange finally took to heart what the Queen had said in the past, and his motherly impression of the Queen Mother was finally completely gone.

The Censorate of the previous dynasty did its utmost to impeach the Fourteenth Prince of the late emperor for being disloyal and unfilial, drinking in the imperial mausoleum and forcing the palace maids who guarded the mausoleum. In addition, Nian Gengyao mobilized his followers to demand that Fatty Ju severely punish the Fourteenth Prince of the late emperor, as if killing him would not be enough to appease the public anger.

The Queen Mother worried about her young son day and night, and fell ill within three or five days.

However, this time she did not have the energy to ask the concubines in the harem to take care of her son. But as the empress dowager received news that everything that happened to her youngest son was plotted by Nian Gengyao, she asked Zhu Xi to go directly to Yikun Palace and take Concubine Hua over to take care of her son.

Jiang Xinxin was still watching from the sidelines, but Dapangju couldn't let Concubine Hua be tortured by the Queen Mother, so he personally took Concubine Hua out of Shoukang Palace, which made Concubine Hua fall in love with Dapangju even more.

Concubine Hua was so touched by Da Pangju's deep affection for her that she even stopped bothering to argue with Concubine Hui. This made Concubine Hui finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, Concubine Hui did not expect that before she even planned to avenge herself, Concubine Wan provoked her to hate Concubine Hua.

Concubine Wan was also frightened by the power revealed by Nian Gengyao this time, and was even more uneasy about the emperor's personal trip to Shoukang Palace to pick up Concubine Hua. That's why she felt that if Concubine Hua could not be suppressed soon, others would definitely not have a good life.

Concubine Hui herself also had a strong sense of crisis, so it was Concubine Hui who took the initiative to talk to Concubine Wan.

Concubine Hui held Concubine Wan's hand and said worriedly, "Huan'er, I didn't expect that Concubine Hua was so powerful in the previous dynasty. They even ignored the late emperor's prince. The emperor was even more concerned about General Nian and didn't even care about the queen mother's face!"

Of course, Concubine Wan had to follow Concubine Hui's opinion and said, "Yes, before we entered the palace, we only heard that Concubine Hua was arrogant and domineering when she was in the palace. It was only after we entered the palace that the Empress took the position of the Central Empress, and then Concubine Hua's arrogance was suppressed. Now that the Emperor has done this, I'm afraid he has a lot of nostalgia for Concubine Hua, so we should stay out of the spotlight in the future."

Concubine Wan knew very well that it was Concubine Hui who took the blame for Concubine Hua, otherwise the one who would have gone to Concubine Hua's palace to suffer every day would have been her, the favorite concubine comparable to Concubine Hua.

Therefore, Concubine Wan was unwilling to give up any opportunity to let Concubine Hui confront Concubine Hua. After all, if Concubine Hui wanted to gain favor, Concubine Hua would indeed be a very good enemy.

Concubine Hui was indeed provoked by Concubine Wan, and she said directly: "I don't think that General Nian's power is a bad thing. I have heard that Concubine Hua is arrogant in the palace, and General Nian is also domineering outside, so the emperor will definitely not tolerate Concubine Hua and the Nian family for long. We are just waiting for the day when the emperor can no longer tolerate it."
