Chapter 215 The Legend of Zhen Huan, Guarjia Wenyuan 14

Guarjia Wenyuan said, "Consort Ye is all alone, while we have families behind us. We always follow the rules and confine ourselves within the framework, not daring to overstep the bounds. Naturally, we are not as unrestrained as she is."

Consort Xin sighed and said in a low voice, "Consort Ye is indeed enviable, but she could have been a soaring eagle, but her wings were broken and she is trapped in the cage of the palace."

"I've heard that this Lady Ye doesn't want to enter the palace, apparently because she has someone she loves."

Consort Jing whispered that she had seen Consort Ye laughing under a mimosa tree, and the intense emotions in her eyes were very similar to the way Consort Dunsu looked at the Emperor.

When the palace maid serving her informed the Emperor that he was going to have dinner at Chunxi Palace, Ye Yingying's face immediately turned cold, and her eyes showed obvious disgust.

"So she wasn't actually that unrestrained; the framework that bound her was smaller than ours, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there," Guarjia Wenyuan concluded.

Inside Jingren Palace, the Empress was trying to persuade Consort Qi to sterilize Consort Ye as retaliation for Consort Ye's disrespect.

They even used the fact that she had once put oleander powder on Zhen Huan as a pretext to threaten her.

But Consort Qi thought she had misunderstood, because the Empress had previously threatened her to harm Guarjia Wenyuan and the Sixth Prince.

However, Consort Qi's animalistic intuition made her somewhat afraid of Guarjia Wenyuan, and she dared not lay a hand on her or the Sixth Prince.

The Empress hinted and urged her, so she directly said that she dared not harm the Sixth Prince and asked the Empress to arrange for someone else to harm them. However, the Empress said that was not what she meant.

Afterwards, the Empress did not reveal the matter of the oleander to the Emperor, so Consort Qi thought that she had misunderstood the Empress's meaning.

This time, she also thought she had misunderstood. After thinking about it, the Empress realized the reason, but she could not directly tell the other party to take action.

They had no choice but to abandon their hints and instead devise other schemes to outmaneuver Consort Ye and Consort Qi in order to gain the right to raise the Third Prince.

Princess Wenyi was six years old and it was time for her to start learning to read and write. The Emperor moved her to the Princes' Residence to live with Princess Shuhe.

At first, Consort Jing was not used to it and could not sleep well at night. Every day she would go to the Prince's residence to see how Wenyi was doing, whether she was crying, and so on.

It took a month for me to get used to it, but I would still visit Wenyi every few days.

Thanks to her, Consort Xin was able to visit Shuhe every time the two of them went to the Prince's residence together.

During the imperial concubine selection, only one concubine, Kang Changzai, was admitted to the harem. Borjigit Guiren was promoted to the rank of Consort and given the title of Zhen.

Consort Kang was arranged by the Empress to live in Zhongcui Palace, where she shared a room with Consort Zhen.

Ye Yingying was deeply favored by the emperor and was promoted to the rank of Changzai, with the title of Ning.

Prince Guo was traveling to Yunnan and Tibet when his boat was tampered with and fell into the river; his fate remains unknown.

Zhen Huan became pregnant with Prince Guo's child. Using the affection between Jinxi and Su Peisheng, she got the Emperor to come to Ganlu Temple and had the child pinned on the Emperor.

The Empress knew that Zhen Huan and the Emperor had rekindled their old flame, and in order to prevent Zhen Huan from entering the palace, she wanted to use celestial phenomena to stop it.

Guarjia Wenyuan directly caused her headache to flare up. The thought of preventing Zhen Huan from entering the palace gave her a headache, and the Empress had no energy to scheme.

Naturally, the Emperor would not bestow upon Zhen Huan the common surname Niohuru or her adopted son, the Fourth Prince.

Zhen Huan remained Zhen Huan of the Plain Blue Banner of the Han Army. In fact, because the four consorts were already in place, she returned to the palace with the rank of Consort Wan, and the Emperor granted her the residence of Yongshou Palace.

While she was seriously ill, her father, Zhen Yuandao, was brought back to Beijing, along with Madam Zhen and Zhen Yurao.
