Chapter 18 The Legend of Zhen Huan (17)
This is the sachet that Shuyan Jue Luo Daishan, Suhetai, and Alinbao wore when they went to court for a period of time!
Although the patterns are different, judging from the craftsmanship, they must have come from the same person. He wondered why for a while the father and his two sons kept glancing at his waist, and they looked quite pleased with themselves after doing so.
Now that I think about it, I was just showing off. No way, I have to show off back tomorrow!
To be honest, the gift of "Forget-Me-Not" was rather perfunctory, but Emperor Yongzheng was still very happy. After all, someone who never did handicrafts had actually embroidered a sachet for him. Although the craftsmanship was not commendable, it was still quite remarkable.
Yongzheng immediately put the purse on, and the next day he summoned Daishan and his two sons to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to show it off.
Time flies, and the end of the year is approaching. The concubines in the harem are all behaving themselves and have not caused any trouble. This makes Wangyou less resistant to taking over the power of the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Empress of Jingren Palace is seriously ill!" Qingzhu rushed in and said.
"What did the imperial physician say?"
"He said it was due to emotional distress that his headaches worsened!"
"Come with me to see her!" Wangyou glanced at the snowflakes outside, smiled, and said.
"Miss!"
"It's alright. It's time to meet the Empress. After all, there are some things she needs to know herself!"
"Yes!"
The palace servants had no choice but to muster all their strength to lift the sedan chair and head towards Jingren Palace.
……
"Consort Shuxian has arrived!"
"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?" Yixiu was now completely unrecognizable as a ghost or a human being, showing no trace of her former elegance and grace.
"No, I'm not that free. I just wanted to chat with you for a while!" Wangyou is the kind of person who takes revenge on the spot, so she really wanted to talk to her about something.
"My relationship with you is nothing more than chatting?" Yixiu's words were full of sarcasm.
"I'm sure you'll find this interesting. For example, do you still remember your son, Honghui?" Wangyou said lazily, finding a comfortable position for herself.
"That's my child, how could I forget? He's only three years old!" Yixiu cried as she spoke of her son, but she was still mindful of something and dared not complain loudly.
Do you want to see him?
What are you saying?
"Your son has always been by your side. Over the years, you have harmed many children, causing him to be unable to be reincarnated and forced to stay by your side watching you commit one wrong act after another!" Wangyou said casually.
The four palace maids behind her didn't change their expressions, clearly indicating that they already knew!
"You're talking nonsense!"
"You'll see for yourself whether I'm lying or not!" Wangyou had Baizhi bring out a small bottle and dripped ox tears onto Yixiu's eyelids. "Now look!"
Yi Xiu immediately spotted the child emanating black energy beside her. In just one glance, she recognized him as her child, her Hong Hui, even though she had tried for a long time without success.
"Consort Shuxian, please, what should I do?" Yixiu didn't understand these things, but she could see the pain on her son's face, and her defenses were completely broken.
"Do more good deeds and less evil!"
"What should I do?"
"Then it's up to you!" Wangyou swaggered away from Jingren Palace with her maids and eunuchs. She had wanted to say it last time, but her methods were too ruthless, so she forgot about it.
Hall of Mental Cultivation!
"You mean the Imperial Concubine went to Jingren Palace?"
"Yes, but this servant does not know what the Imperial Concubine and Her Majesty the Empress said. However, after the Imperial Concubine came out, Her Majesty the Empress cried for a long time, but her spirits were much better!"
"Go down, don't worry about it!" Yongzheng turned the thumb ring on his thumb, seemingly lost in thought, before finally sighing, "Variables are always variables!"
Yongzheng continued to devote himself to his work, and his brothers were also released one by one to do their jobs. In this life, he wanted the Qing Dynasty to prosper and would not allow any foreign people to invade.
……
"Host, if the empress dies, you can become the empress. Why give her a chance to live?"
"Because I'm lazy. In the drama 'Empresses in the Palace,' you could say that everyone is a villain, but everyone is also a pitiful person. I treat everyone equally!" Wangyou said to the Treasure System with a smile.
"Moreover, the tragedy of these women is ultimately due to the emperor. Although the emperor's heart is no longer that of the emperor, they are not innocent. It's just that this Emperor Yongzheng loves his career more, and with his experience of wandering for hundreds of years, his methods of governing the country will only be better. This also means that he will not focus his attention on the concubines in the harem. He just needs an excellent and qualified successor!"
"But he treats you very well, he practically dotes on you!"
"He was indeed very good to me, but it was mostly for political reasons. Besides, the historical Yongzheng Emperor wasn't that fond of women, and my surname, Shuyan Gioro, doesn't exist in history. He just saw a bug in this world in me!"
"Host, now that you mention it, it seems to be true. Aren't you even a little bit moved?" The system thought of how the emperor would send gifts and jewelry every few days, letting Wangyou do whatever she wanted. This was all a sign of his affection!
"I'm so moved, I don't dare to move a muscle!" Wangyou joked, a rare occurrence for her. "Little system, have you really done a lot of missions? The emperor's favor is the most unreliable thing!"
“But my previous hosts were all pampered in the harem and received the emperor’s exclusive favor!” Duobao said proudly.
"You're really amazing! How many props did you use?" Wangyou praised first, then asked with a smile.
System: Before it could even get cocky, it was crushed by her next sentence.
"I may not understand love, but that doesn't mean I don't know. Yongzheng may have some feelings for me, but it's definitely not love. He's very rational; sometimes he might even deceive himself!"
Regardless of how others live, Wangyou always adheres to one saying: "If men are reliable, pigs can fly!"
The Treasure System was speechless. This host was too rational. She forgot that she hadn't developed romantic feelings.
On New Year's Eve, families gather for a reunion, and the imperial family is no exception.
This was the first time Wangyou had seen so many members of the imperial clan, including Prince Zhi, Prince Li, Prince Cheng, Prince Lian, Prince Dun, Ninth Prince, Prince Yi, and the Grand General Prince, among others. The nine princes from the Kangxi era were basically all represented.
It must be said that Emperor Yongzheng was quite resourceful. These princes were released, and Yongzheng was able to keep them obedient. His skill was truly remarkable.
Of course, Yongzheng's favorite was still his younger brother, the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, and the level of care he showed him was comparable to that he showed to her, a pregnant woman.
It is evident that later generations' speculation that the Thirteenth Prince was the true love of Emperor Yongzheng, and that the "white moonlight" was based on evidence.
Wangyou enjoyed the gossip at the scene, and when she was almost done eating, she prepared to go back, taking the pregnant concubines with her as well, leaving the Empress to keep order with a smile.
Yixiu looks much more peaceful now, perhaps because she has something to look forward to. She now appears truly gentle and virtuous.
"Your Majesty, Consort Zhen from Suiyu Pavilion went to Yimei Garden to pray for blessings, and she even recited a poem: 'If the wind understands my heart, it will not easily destroy me.'" Qingzhu said with a heavy heart.
Wangyou was speechless. She had ruined the plot so badly, yet Zhen Huan was able to salvage it!
