Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1107 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 33

Concubine Nian was very anxious, but reality told her that it was useless to be anxious, so she could only listen to Concubine Cao and secretly find someone to encourage Huanbi to climb into bed. It happened that Concubine Wan was pregnant, and Concubine Nian even thought about letting something happen to Concubine Wan.

It just so happened that Concubine Cao herself really wanted to attack Concubine Wan. When there were few children in the palace, her Princess Wen Yi could stand out. And the baby in Concubine Wan's belly, whether it was a boy or a girl, was a threat to Princess Wen Yi and would divert the emperor's favor and attention to her.

Therefore, Concubine Cao was very concerned about instigating Huanbi to climb into bed, and even personally went to inquire about Huanbi's feelings towards her mother.

Although Huanbi once despised Concubine Cao for only giving birth to a princess and whose status was not as high as her elder sister, Concubine Wan, she was still a little wary of Concubine Cao's intention to contact her at first. However, Concubine Cao always talked about her motherly love, and gradually Huanbi's slight wariness was dispelled.

So Huanbi even revealed to Concubine Cao a little about her wish to have her biological mother enshrined in the ancestral temple.

Concubine Cao was a very perceptive person. She immediately realized that Huanbi's background might be different. Then, when the senior palace maid Yinxiu beside her inadvertently mentioned that Huanbi looked at least three points like Concubine Wan, she had some guesses in her mind.

So Concubine Cao turned around and went to find Concubine Nian.

Concubine Nian thought that Concubine Cao might have discovered something, or that something had gone wrong, so she quickly cleared the area and asked carefully. As a result, Concubine Cao suggested that she carefully investigate the inner house affairs of Concubine Wan's mother's family, the Zhen family: "Your Majesty, Yinxiu reminded me today that Concubine Wan's maid Huanbi, who came with Concubine Wan, looks a bit like Concubine Wan."

Concubine Nian didn't take it seriously at first: "What does that mean?"

Concubine Cao said anxiously, "I have had secret contact with Huanbi several times before. Huanbi told me in person that she wanted to find a way to have her biological mother worshipped near the ancestral temple. At that time, I just thought that Huanbi's life experience was different. Combined with Yinxiu's discovery, maybe Huanbi is related to Concubine Wan?"

Concubine Nian didn't believe it, and neither did Songzhi.

Song Zhi lightly rebuked: "I'm afraid Concubine Cao is used to making wild guesses. How dare you say such a ridiculous idea!"

Concubine Nian also said, "Songzhi is right. Your idea is far-fetched."

Concubine Cao thought that it would be fine to investigate Zhen Yuandao in detail. "What I mean is, why don't you ask the general to secretly investigate Zhen Yuandao? If the Zhen family really has some unspeakable secrets, it would not be a bad idea to use this as a handle to attack Concubine Wan."

"If not, can't we make some?"

Concubine Nian was very hesitant. This method was not worthy of public display, especially since it would eventually be her dear second brother who would do it. "How can I let my second brother do such a thing!"

Concubine Cao refused to give up: "But, we have very few means to use in the harem, otherwise I would not have suggested to the Queen to push Huanbi out. Since it is not easy to attack Concubine Wan from the harem, it is reasonable to seek compensation from the former court."

In the end, Concubine Nian was persuaded by Noble Lady Cao and personally wrote a letter to Nian Gengyao and sent it back.

Of course, this letter fell into the hands of Da Pangju first. Da Pangju saw that Concubine Nian speculated in the letter that Guiren Wan and the palace maid Huanbi who came with her as a dowry were related, and he felt that Concubine Nian was really at her wit's end and could come up with such a ridiculous speculation.

When Big Fat Orange read the part later where Concubine Nian wrote that if Nian Gengyao couldn't find any fault with Zhen Yuandao, he might as well set up a trap to frame him, he was so angry that he laughed at Concubine Nian and Nian Gengyao.

Now Big Fat Ju is just waiting for Nian Gengyao to rebel and wipe out Nian's gang, and completely push young generals he likes, such as Ortai and Yue Zhongqi, to the top. In addition, there are Prince Heng and Prince Chun in the royal family who can also lead troops. It just so happens that both of them have flaws and there is no possibility of usurping the throne. He is more at ease using them.

Therefore, the letter from Concubine Nian eventually reached Nian Gengyao's hands intact, and Nian Gengyao immediately mobilized people to investigate Zhen Yuandao's family without saying a word.

Of course, Da Pangju took the opportunity to plant his people in. For the sake of Concubine Wan, Da Pangju could not really let Nian Gengyao frame Zhen Yuandao.

The fact that Concubine Cao was in contact with Huanbi could not be hidden from Jiang Xinxin, the increasingly powerful Queen, but she was too lazy to care. After all, Huanbi was Concubine Wan's dowry, and in Yixiu's memory, there was no such thing as Huanbi climbing into bed. Even if things became different because of her arrival, she would not have any thoughts.

Instead, the Fourth Prince Hongli, who came to pay his respects every day, was more worthy of her attention.

After Jiang Xinxin finished her breakfast, Jianqiu asked the palace maids to clear the table, and then helped Jiang Xinxin to go out to digest the food. However, she had to mention that the Fourth Prince came to pay his respects: "The Fourth Prince is really thoughtful. He came again today."

Jiang Xinxin didn't want to pay any attention to Zhalong, even though he still looked like a poor little kid with no one to love him. "Is there anything missing from his allowance?"

Jianqiu replied, "Since the ceremony of conferring the title to the Empress, no one in the palace has been short of a share, and the same is true for the Old Summer Palace."

Jiang Xinxin asked again: "Are there any civil and military masters in Yuanmingyuan?"

Jian Qiu replied: "Yes, we have already invited a master to teach the two princes. They are both from wealthy families and have already had a clear path with the emperor."

Very good, so you want to establish connections and return to the palace.

Jiang Xinxin sighed softly, "Let's go and send the Fourth Prince away. He comes to pay his respects to Wanfang Wanhe every day, but I avoid him. If it gets out, I don't know how bad it will be. I don't intend to ruin my reputation for such a thing."

Jianqiu understood Jiang Xinxin's attitude. She just hated the Fourth Prince. So she gave up the idea of ​​asking Jiang Xinxin to help the Fourth Prince, who lost his mother at a young age and had a low status.

"Your Majesty is right. The reason why the Fourth Prince is not favored is obviously because of his biological mother and the Emperor. What's the point of him coming here every day to embarrass Your Majesty?"

Walking out of Wanfang Wanhe, the sun had just begun to peek out, and the morning dew on the flowers and trees was still very fresh. Jiang Xinxin didn't like using dew to make tea, so the palace maids in front of her didn't have to get up early every day to tend to the dew. But Concubine Nian and Noble Lady Wan liked to use dew to make tea to curry favor, and the palace maids on both sides even had a fight because of this. In the end, Jiang Xinxin thought that Noble Lady Wan was about to give birth, and Concubine Nian was also concerned about Fatty Ju's plan for Nian Gengyao, so she just scolded them one by one and let the matter go.

The Fourth Prince arrived early, and not only Jiang Xinxin, but even Jianqiu could see traces of the clothes on the Fourth Prince's shoulders being soaked by morning dew and mist.

Jiang Xinxin gave Jianqiu a look, and Jianqiu stepped forward to help the Fourth Prince, who was kneeling on the ground to pay his respects, up, and said, "My prince is still young, it is time for him to take care of his health and study. The Empress is also old. As long as my prince takes care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and takes care of his studies, the Empress will be satisfied."

"There's really no need to bother with morning and evening visits. It would be better for you to read a few more pages of books. The Empress will only be happier."

Without waiting for the Fourth Prince to act pitiful, Jianqiu quickly called a young eunuch to escort the Fourth Prince and his servant back to study.
