Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1099 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 25

Jiang Xinxin didn't care who in the harem was pregnant, or even whether she was pregnant at all, and all the rewards were just given according to the routine. But Da Pangju couldn't resist his imagination, so he insisted on staying in Jingren Palace that night.

Jiang Xinxin declined the offer and said directly to Big Fat Ju, "There is still a concubine in the palace who has not yet served the emperor. If it weren't for me secretly taking care of her, I'm afraid she would have been humiliated by those petty people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the gossips of the concubines in the harem."

Big Fat Orange understood what Jiang Xinxin meant, but refused to admit that Jiang Xinxin didn't want to see him. Instead, he thought that Jiang Xinxin must have felt sorry for Rou Da Ying, so he favored Rou Da Ying that night. The next day, he expressed his satisfaction with Rou Da Ying in the name of Jingren Palace, and promoted Rou Da Ying to Rou Changzai.

The newly appointed Rou Changzai An Lingrong became more and more respectful to the Queen, and went to Jingren Palace to express her gratitude early in the morning. Jiang Xinxin had no choice but to pinch her nose and add one point to Rou Changzai's reward. After Fatty Ju found out, he felt that Jiang Xinxin valued Rou Changzai even more, so Rou Changzai became the new favorite concubine in the harem.

Although Fat Orange would not often invite Rou Changzai to his palace, he would ask her to accompany him from time to time. Hua Fei had not expected that after the most favored Guiren Wan became pregnant, an inconspicuous Rou Changzai would emerge. She could not help but smashing things in Yiku Palace again.

"That old lady, the Queen, really can't bear to see any good in me!"

Songzhi quickly agreed: "The Queen is indeed too petty. The Emperor only showed a little bit of his love and attention to the Queen, and the Queen was busy bringing out a concubine to share the Queen's favor. She really doesn't behave like a legitimate wife at all. How can she compare to you, the Queen, in terms of being decent."

Songzhi dared to say so, and Concubine Hua really dared to believe that it was true. "In the past, I saw that the Queen dared to confront the Queen Mother for the sake of the Emperor's reputation, and I thought that the Queen really cared about the Emperor. But now it seems that the Queen was purely selfish at the beginning. It's really embarrassing!"

It was because Concubine Cao was not in Yikun Palace now, otherwise she would have rolled her eyes after hearing the whispers between the master and servant.

Concubine Hua discussed the matter with Songzhi for a long time but could not come up with any idea. Songzhi then suggested inviting Concubine Cao over, and Concubine Hua quickly agreed.

But after hearing the whole story, Concubine Cao disagreed with what Concubine Hua and Songzhi said about taking action against Concubine Rou. Of course, she would never directly deny Concubine Hua's proposal. She just said, "Concubine Rou was recommended by the Queen, and the Emperor is also interested in her. Anyway, the position of Concubine Rou was awarded by the Emperor for the Queen's sake. It's not appropriate for us to take action against Concubine Rou directly."

Hua Fei has always been concerned about Da Pang Ju's affairs. Song Zhi had said before that she was more like a legitimate wife than the queen. Even though she felt bitter, she couldn't help but say, "Yes, the emperor is not able to summon me every day because of the queen mother. If Rou Chang is no longer here to relax, then..."

Concubine Cao almost couldn't hold it together. She didn't dare to look up when she heard Songzhi praising Concubine Hua.

After a while, Concubine Hua managed to gather her spirits and asked Concubine Cao, "Then who else in the palace can I kill as an example to scare the monkeys?"

Concubine Cao thought for a moment and said, "Concubine Hui of the East Palace of Chengqian Palace has always been on good terms with Concubine Wan. Now that Concubine Wan is pregnant, I'm afraid she's also anxious to have a child."

Concubine Hua snorted coldly: "She is anxious to have an heir, but am I not anxious too? Do you think she wants me to give her a child?!"

Concubine Cao smiled and said, "That's not a bad idea. But what you get depends on Concubine Hui's luck."

Hua Fei didn't quite understand, but Song Zhi had already understood, "Your Majesty, what Concubine Cao said is true. Since Concubine Hui is anxious to have a child, we should help her. If we reveal any signs in front of the emperor, then Concubine Hui will be in trouble. This will also cut off one of Concubine Wan's arms."

Concubine Hua thought this was a good idea, and knowing that Concubine Cao had no one under her control, she ordered Songzhi to do her best to accomplish this. Concubine Hui happened to be eager to have a child, so Concubine Hua easily took advantage of the opportunity.

The fact that Concubine Hui had gone to the Imperial Hospital in a big way to ask for Zifang was almost known to everyone in the palace. Jiang Xinxin vaguely remembered that Shen Meizhuang was indeed framed by Nian Shilan for a fake pregnancy, and she also got more details from Yixiu's memory. She didn't expect that the plot had been changed almost beyond recognition, and Shen Meizhuang still couldn't escape the fake pregnancy.

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but ask Jianqiu, "How did the Shen family raise their women? Concubine Hui actually went to the imperial physician to ask for the secret recipe for having a child in such a high-profile manner!"

Jianqiu also found it hard to believe. Even though she knew that Shen Meizhuang only looked smart, she never thought that Shen Meizhuang would be so stupid.

"How do I know how the Shen family raises their children? But I think Concubine Hui saw that her good sister Concubine Wan was pregnant, and even Concubine Fucha and Concubine Guaerjia, who were not favored by the family, were pregnant. She was desperate and tried all kinds of methods."

In any case, all the concubines in the palace, including the palace maids and eunuchs, knew that Concubine Hui was very eager to have a child, and they even forced the imperial physician to find a secret recipe for having a child.

Songzhi also did things in a very simple and rough manner. Naturally, there were imperial doctors bribed by the Nian family in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and there was more than one, one openly and one secretly cooperating with the actions of the Yikun Palace. Finally, an imperial doctor Liu Bin from Jeju was "bribed" by Concubine Hui with a large sum of money, and privately gave Concubine Hui a prescription for "replenishing qi and blood, and warming the uterus."

Liu Bin was also smart, and said frankly: "This recipe is for conditioning women's bodies. Since ancient times, only when the body is healthy can it be easier to get pregnant. So this recipe has no other functions, but it has a set of functions for conditioning the body."

Concubine Hui just thought that Liu Bin was afraid to say some things too clearly, so she accepted the prescription with great joy. She also thought she had grasped Liu Bin's weaknesses. Even though the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were always on duty, she didn't care and trusted Liu Bin and his prescriptions very much.

Liu Bin immediately modified the prescription that he had approved in front of his colleagues and returned it to Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui had no idea that since Liu Bin could play tricks in the Imperial Hospital once, he could continue to play tricks. So she took a lot of effort to finally collect the medicinal materials on the secret recipe for having a child, and she couldn't wait to take it every day.

Jiang Xinxin felt that Concubine Hui had made such a fool of herself that she quickly asked Jiang Fuhai to report to the Yangxin Palace. Fatty Ju personally investigated the matter and confirmed that it was Concubine Hua who set up a trap for Concubine Hui, and that Concubine Hui herself could not wait to jump into it. She could only sigh to the sky and told Jiang Xinxin not to bother with the brainless Shen Meiyu.

As for Concubine Cao who came up with such a sinister idea, Big Fat Orange rarely felt the urge to kill her.
