Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1183 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 107

After hearing this, Concubine Ning couldn't help but take a breath, "This..."

Concubine Jing's smile was a little bleak, and she said quietly, "Although I have never seen the grace of Queen Chunyuan with my own eyes, I also know that the royal family wives only said that Queen Chunyuan was not good at socializing, and did not spread any other bad things. It can be seen that fate plays tricks on us and we have no control over everything."

Concubine Ning now completely understood, "No wonder the Queen was so harsh to her mother's family, the Ulanara clan. It shows that she recognized the true nature of the Ulanara clan early on."

Concubine Jing shook her head and said, "Not to mention the noble families, even ordinary families raise their daughters mostly for profit, with some sincerity at most. But it is rare to see such eager and greedy faces and behaviors as Ulanara's."

"It would have been fine if the Ulanara clan had used Empress Chunyuan to get closer to the emperor, but they chose to kill the Empress's eldest son, which caused the Empress and the Ulanara clan to become mortal enemies."

Concubine Ning couldn't understand why Ulanara did this, "Isn't the Queen Ulanara's daughter? The eldest prince is the eldest son of Prince Yong's mansion!"

It was the hottest time of July and the warmest time of September. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, not too cold or too hot. It should have been a good day, but Concubine Jing shuddered for no reason when she thought of the rumors.

"In fact, I initially thought that it was Queen Chunyuan who killed the Queen's eldest son. After all, according to the information I received, the Queen's eldest son had a high fever and needed urgent treatment. However, Queen Chunyuan diagnosed her with pregnancy and detained the court physician and the imperial physician in the main courtyard of the residence. As a result, the eldest son died, and the Queen was exhausted and fell ill from then on..."

"But now think about it, Queen Chunyuan probably didn't do anything directly, or someone around her acted on their own. Anyway, the people of the Ulanara clan and the emperor have given up on the eldest prince, and it is very likely that they have joined forces to block the news from Queen Chunyuan and ignore the death of the eldest prince."

Somehow, Concubine Ning actually thought of the prince that Nian Shilan always talked about, the one who was beaten to death by Concubine Duan with a bowl of "abortion-preserving medicine" when they were in the Qiandi. She couldn't help but shiver.

In fact, there was no need for Nian Shilan to ask Concubine Jing anything about the six-month-old prince. That poor child who had never seen the light of day was probably abandoned by his own father.

So, the emperor has let down so many poor women, so now the queen must have discovered something, but she just doesn't want to continue to perfunctory...

Concubine Ning no longer wanted to explore what had happened between the emperor and the empress. Now she only needed to take care of herself and the Ninth Prince, and help Jiang Xinxin with the palace affairs so that she could worry less.

In Changchun Palace, Concubine Qi heard early in the morning that Concubine Ning was going to talk to Concubine Jing outside Jingren Palace. Although she was not smart enough, she was not really stupid about everything, so as soon as she returned, she asked people to keep a close eye on the movements in Xianfu Palace. She wanted to go to the main hall of Xianfu Palace to listen to what Concubine Jing and Concubine Ning talked about.

"Are they plotting for the position of Queen? If they succeed, my Hongshi will be inferior to that young boy, the Ninth Prince!"

Concubine Qi was extremely stupid, but no one could say anything about her motherly love for the Third Prince. The head palace maid Cuiguo knew how serious she was, so she started to get nervous after hearing this. However, due to many previous experiences, she also panicked and could not think of any solution.

Concubine Qi gritted her teeth and asked someone to invite the Third Prince over.

The Third Prince is about to have his own children, but he still hasn't been able to attend court. He couldn't help but feel angry, thinking that Fatty Ju was unfair to him. He also thought that Jiang Xinxin, who had treated him well when they were in the palace, was a snob. So when Qingying was pregnant, his joy of becoming a father was mostly gone.

Upon hearing the invitation from Concubine Qi, the filial Third Prince went straight to Changchun Palace without stopping. He did not expect to hear the bad news that Queen Jiang Xinxin might not be able to survive, and that Concubine Jing and Concubine Ning were planning to seize the position of Queen together.

Concubine Qi looked anxious, "Son, if Concubine Jing or Concubine Ning really takes the lead, even if the Ninth Prince cannot become the legitimate son, he will be closer to the future Queen. At that time, your position in your Royal Father's heart will be further reduced!"

"Besides, I have been serving your father since the time when he was in the palace. After your father ascended the throne, he also handled palace affairs for many years without making any mistakes. Moreover, you are your father's eldest son. I should have the opportunity to make further progress."

"If mother becomes the empress, you will be the emperor's eldest son. No matter what their backgrounds are, your brothers can never compare to you. Then you can get rid of Qingying and marry a Manchu noblewoman!"

The Third Prince also felt that if the Queen was really gone, it would be best for his mother, Concubine Qi, to take the throne. However, he was a little hesitant about Concubine Qi's words about deposing Qingying, "Mother, since Qingying is already pregnant with our son's child, let's not talk about deposing her."

Concubine Qi certainly didn't want Qingying, this cheap daughter-in-law. "As for this woman giving birth to a child, anyone can do it. It doesn't have to be Ulanara. Besides, do you remember the rumors before? There are rumors outside the palace that Ulanara will be nailed to the throne of the empress. Maybe it's because you married Qingying that the emperor feels that you can't stand out. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the fulfillment of the previous rumors!"

When Concubine Qi talked about deposing Qingying, her eyebrows danced with joy. "Besides, Qingying is not qualified to be your legitimate wife. Before she became pregnant, she didn't care about your offspring, and didn't arrange a few concubines for you. She didn't even mention marrying you a concubine. Logically, you should marry a concubine."

After the mother and son decided on Qingying's destination, they began to discuss marrying a concubine. Concubine Qi expressed her opinion: "There are already Concubine Shun and Concubine Guaerjia in the palace, so you can't marry a concubine from the Fucha or Guaerjia clans. You should choose a concubine with a better family background than them. Mother, the girl from Lord Ortai's family is very good."

The Third Prince was thinking about the princess from the Dong E clan who had participated in the selections for the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince. It was said that the Dong E clan produced beautiful women, and he liked women with outstanding looks and talents, so he said to Concubine Qi, "Don't worry, mother. No matter if it's a princess from the Guaerjia clan or a princess from the Fucha clan, as long as you don't like her, your son doesn't want her."

Seeing how filial the Third Prince was, Concubine Qi was extremely happy. She had even begun to imagine herself, as the Empress Dowager, living in the Cining Palace, with all the concubines and ladies bowing to her in unison.

The affairs of the harem could not be hidden from Big Fat Ju, and the nonsense between Concubine Qi and the Third Prince and his mother was soon discovered by Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou couldn't believe what she heard. She herself was from a Han Army Banner family. After entering the palace, she realized that apart from the palace maids in the Imperial Household Department, Concubine Qi's Han Army Banner family background was the lowest level in the harem.

Roupin knew that even Ning Fei, a noble lady from the family of a third-rank official of the Han army flag, did not dare to dream of the position of queen. Moreover, Jiang Xinxin was just sick now. Even if she looked a little old, she would definitely not allow anyone to care about everything about her while she was still alive.
