Chapter 152 Zhen Huan 28
Chapter 152 Zhen Huan 28
During the days after the New Year, since everyone is on vacation at home, a few close brothers will get together at Changqiu Palace whether they have time or not.
After the court session on the third day of the first lunar month, all the princes who had official duties went to work. The only ones idle in the imperial city were the two princes Zhili who were on vacation, and the young Yinqi and Jinzhong, who had nothing to do every day.
But the palace was very boring in winter. After muttering to themselves for a while, the four of them carefully went to Prince Li's hot spring resort without telling anyone else.
When everyone arrived at the place, Yongzheng in the palace heard about this, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad and abandoned.
Obviously he wanted to go too, but after looking at the numerous memorials submitted after the New Year and the new beauties entering the palace after the selection on the 16th day of the first lunar month, he had no choice but to give up.
Yinqi stayed with his two brothers at the farm until their vacation ended and they returned to Tianjin. Only then did he set off for the palace. That day was the afternoon of the fourth day since all the newlyweds entered the palace.
After returning to Changqiu Palace and settling down, Yinqi and Jinzhong finally found time to listen to the puppets who stayed in the palace tell them about the recent excitement in the palace.
They had a lot of fun playing with their elder and second brothers these past two days, and if the puppet hadn't come to report, he would have forgotten what he had told them to do to observe the newcomers.
Because there are a few more elderly people in the palace in this life, the palaces assigned to newcomers after they enter the palace are slightly different from those in the previous life.
In the original drama, Lady Borjigit was temporarily placed in Zhongcui Palace, and then there was no further news about her.
But in this life, Concubine Yu Geng did not stay in the Old Summer Palace, so she was arranged to live in the Jingyang Palace and temporarily in the East Side Hall.
After all, no matter what, this noble lady will be promoted to a concubine in the near future for the sake of the reputation of the Manchu and Mongolian peoples, so it doesn't matter if she lives in a remote place, but the main seat must be reserved.
Noble Lady Fucha has not changed and still lives in the east side hall of the Yanx Palace. Her fellow palace dweller is An Da Ying, who lives in the back hall of the Yanx Palace.
Concubine Shen lived in the east side hall of Xianfu Palace.
Zhen Changzai lived in the back hall of Suiyuxuan.
Originally, she was arranged by the Queen to live in Chengqian Palace, but somehow the Emperor found out about this and felt that she was not worthy, so he placed her in Yongshou Palace.
When the memorial reached Concubine Hua, Nian Shilan thought that since Zhen Huan dared to play tricks during the selection, she must not be a peaceful person.
Therefore, she could not be allowed to live in Yongshou Palace as it was so close to the Emperor, so she was given Suiyuxuan. She was also given the excuse of her low status and was specifically not allowed to live in the side palaces, so she was only allowed to live in the back palace.
This time, Fang Jiachang was not assigned to the remote Suiyuxuan, but went to Chuxiu Palace to keep Xinpin company.
In this way, all the newlyweds entered the palace and settled down in their respective palaces, and the show began.
That afternoon, word spread throughout the palace that Shen Meizhuang did not pay her respects to the mistress when she entered the palace, but went to Sui Yuxuan to find Zhen Huan, thus humiliating the mistress, Concubine Jing.
After this incident, even though Jingpin was a good-natured person, she felt a little displeased with Shen Meizhuang. After all, she now had the prince's throne.
It would be fine if Shen Meizhuang's actions had lost her face, but if this matter were to spread, it would inevitably implicate the Sixth Prince's reputation.
She didn't care how she was framed, but when it came to her son, whom she had finally gotten, Jingpin felt uncomfortable.
But after all, Jingpin was a gentle person, so she just decided to stay away from Shen Meiyu in her heart, and had no intention of attacking her.
What she didn't know was that as soon as Shen Meizhuang left the house, the matter was discovered by the puppet arranged by Yinqi in Yikun Palace, and told to Concubine Hua.
When Concubine Hua found out, her eyes lit up. This time she had caught the three people's weaknesses.
Without hesitation, Concubine Hua used her power to assist in managing the six palaces and directly ordered that Shen Meiyu be moved to Sui Yuxuan to keep Zhen Huan company. If Sui Yuxuan had not been too small, An Lingrong would have had to be squeezed in.
Fortunately, there was no main seat in the Yanx Palace where An Lingrong lived, so she was only punished for three months like Shen Meiyu as a warning.
And she was still worried (to watch the show) so she asked Songzhi to go and monitor. It would have been fine if she hadn't gone, but once she went, she found out that Cui Jinxi had allowed Zhen Huan to have a small maid and live in the main palace against her will, and the fact was also exposed.
This made Concubine Hua, who was just happy, immediately look downcast after hearing Song Zhi's report.
What do you mean? Her words don't work, right?
Without further ado, he sent over a dozen people to capture Cui Jinxi and gave her twenty lashes of the cane in the main courtyard of Suiyuxuan.
Afterwards, she was punished by being forced to copy the palace rules ten times on the grounds that Zhen Huan had violated the rules. This operation frightened Zhen Huan terribly.
At this moment, she no longer cared whether An Lingrong had anyone to serve her. Feeling extremely humiliated, she returned to the dilapidated back hall that Hua Fei had helped move to copy the palace rules.
Just like that, six newcomers had just entered the palace when three of them were killed, and the matter was not over yet.
This morning is the fourth day since the newlyweds entered the palace, and also the day they meet the queen.
Because the nanny did not teach them well before, and the Queen was plotting against them, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang really didn't know the rules.
So under the Queen's deliberate guidance, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang openly passed Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Borjigit and stood in the first row.
It was precisely because the Queen knew that Concubine Hua had instructed to teach the nanny that she took the opportunity to stir up conflicts between Shen Zhen and the other two noble ladies. No matter if the quarrel broke out on the spot or later, discord between them would be a good thing for the Queen.
But she didn't expect that Zhen Huan and the other person would be so cooperative. After seeing the angry look of Noble Lady Fucha and the speechless look of Noble Lady Borjigit, she immediately felt relieved.
But she missed one thing, and that was Concubine Hua who was somewhat insane in this life.
Because the Imperial Household Department was under the management of Prince Yi in this life, and Prince Yi was the brain of the fourth brother. His fourth brother attached great importance to rules, so Prince Yi had to follow in his footsteps. He revised the previously lax palace rules and submitted them to Yongzheng.
After reading the new palace rules handed over by Prince Yi, Yongzheng was very satisfied, so he issued an edict telling everyone in the harem to act in accordance with the palace rules compiled by Prince Yi.
He thought that since he would not need to flatter Nian Gengyao in this life, although he doted on Concubine Hua, he did not indulge her. He thought that as long as Concubine Hua was honest, she would not be punished.
But is Hua Fei an honest person? She is a wild person who will radiate with a little sunshine, especially in her mind that the Queen is an old woman with no children and no favor, so why should she be the Queen and why should she respect her. This makes Hua Fei, who is the most favored and assists in managing the six palaces, feel arrogant all of a sudden, and she doesn't care about the Queen's face at all.
So in the past six months since entering the palace, Concubine Hua would find ways to provoke the Queen whenever she had the chance, which made the Queen miserable.
But although she couldn't say directly who the Queen was, she could use roundabout means to please him. So after she had probed into Yongzheng's thoughts and realized that he would not indulge Concubine Hua, the Queen immediately stood up.
She knew in her heart that she would not indulge Hua Fei. From then on, whenever she caught Hua Fei with something wrong, she would punish her under the slogan that the Emperor attached great importance to rules. Being bound by the palace rules again and again, didn't Hua Fei become a little crazy?
So today, when Concubine Hua saw Shen Zhen and the other person standing in an inappropriate position, and thought she had finally caught the Queen doing something wrong, she was quite excited. As soon as the newlyweds finished their greetings, she revealed the matter with excitement on her face.
"Who are Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Borjigit?"
