The reason why Concubine Dong Shu was banished to the cold palace was not hidden from the Emperor. He told the entire harem directly that she had drugged him and nearly harmed his offspring.
He did this primarily to warn the restless women in the harem. See? If anyone attempts to use drugs to win favor again, this will be their fate. It doesn't matter if you have a prince or princess to lean on.
After that, the concubines became much more obedient.
Seeing the porcelain doll-like person involved, Shen Aoshan, would take a detour. No one would take the initiative to come to her palace to cause trouble.
The Empress and Imperial Concubine Mei were delighted. They had thought she was someone who would endure and remain a coward for the rest of her life. Now that she's gained some power, she's gotten carried away. She's hopelessly stupid.
They gloated over the misfortune, believing that Concubine Dong Shu's downfall would give them the opportunity to regain control of the harem. However, things did not go as planned. Emperor Da Zhao did not appoint anyone this time, but directly handed the power of harem management to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager came from a prominent family. Although skilled in political schemes, she was also a man of few motives. She would never do anything that would harm the heir to the throne. Emperor Dazhao had confidence in this, and therefore felt completely at ease leaving the responsibility to her.
Thus, the half-cancelled morning and evening visits were resumed. Although the Queen Mother refused again and again, she could not stop the concubines' enthusiasm and "filial piety".
She was too lazy to restrain herself. She just came when she wanted to, and she would spend some time listening to the interesting things happening among the younger generations in the palace.
Until one day, Shen Aoshan suddenly had a stomachache due to walking too much. The Queen Mother finally ignored her filial piety and forced her to skip the morning greetings and stay in the palace to wait for the birth.
Shen Aoshan couldn't hold on any longer, so she gave up.
However, she liked the Queen Mother, so she was somewhat respectful. Furthermore, her status made her a target of wooing by all those with ambitions for the throne. She shouldn't have been hiding quietly at this critical moment.
So, even if she wasn't there, she would send Yan Miaoling as her representative to occasionally deliver gifts and show her some favors. Sometimes it was a face mask, sometimes health tea, sometimes hair blackening toner...
These are all things the old lady likes.
That day, Yan Miaoling arrived with her new product... the Autumn Rouge and Powder Set. As she finished delivering it and turned to leave, she was met head-on by a man.
Damn it! Jiang Yutang.
This plague god! I haven't seen him for a long time. I don't know where he went.
She still wore the same loose black robe and flowing black hair. The only difference was that her headband had been replaced with a white jade hairpin. It was slanted in, and against the backdrop of the wide robe and sleeves, she looked very lazy and unrestrained.
Yan Miaoling immediately lowered her head and prepared to pass by.
Not wanting to be stopped by Jiang Yutang, "Wait a minute!"
Then, you know what happened next. This is the corner gate, hidden among the green bamboos, not many people. But this lecher shouldn't...
He stretched out his right hand and placed it on Yan Miaoling's chest. His tone was puzzled. "It feels warm..."
Jiang Yutang just pulled his hand back, and then he felt his foot being crushed, and he couldn't help but scream. Then he hugged his foot and jumped on the spot...
Jiang Yutang only realized what he had just done when he saw the brown figure disappear in the blink of an eye.
I put my foot down, not knowing where to put my right hand, "Hey, hey! I didn't mean to..."
He thought it was a ghost, appearing in broad daylight, and couldn't help but want to test it. That night, he had clearly grasped it, but it was empty. How come... it felt soft and still quite warm...
Can you believe it? The man who seemed quite experienced in flirting with women blushed.
He stood there in a daze, staring at the bamboo shoots.
He murmured, "Round..."
Suddenly, he yelled, "Ah ...
Jiang Yutang howled in pain from the constant blows to the back of his head, neck, chest, back, and limbs. Yan Miaoling's current martial arts skills weren't invincible, but they were more than enough to deal with this idiot.
What's more, there is space for cover.
Jiang Yutang was soon beaten to the ground, breathing more heavily than he exhaled. If the system hadn't reminded him in time... their lives were linked. Yan Miaoling might have beaten him to death.
Inside the imperial city, in the meditation room of the Imperial Master’s Mansion.
Nanjia, who was meditating, felt the red jade on his chest emitting a burning heat. He put down the wooden fish and took it out. "How could this happen? I haven't been so emotional in a long time. Why am I..."
Yan Miaoling had been very well behaved recently, which pleased him greatly. She copied the scriptures incredibly quickly. He didn't even need to look at her; just the merit points on her wrist told him she wasn't slacking off.
Logically, this should be helpful for cultivating one's mind, so what on earth made her so angry?
He stood up anxiously and was about to go into the palace to look for her when he felt her calm down. He stopped and sat cross-legged again. He continued to meditate and chant.
But, once the heart is restless, waves will eventually arise.
And why is someone calm?
Because Nanny Fang from the Empress Dowager's palace caught up with her and said, "Miss Hu Jin, this is the freshly made osmanthus cake, a reward from the Empress Dowager, come and eat it!" Of course, the cakes made in the small kitchen in the Empress Dowager's palace are top-notch.
Foodie Yan Miaoling was comforted by sweets and her anger disappeared.
Kindly reminding, "Madam Fang, I think I heard the prince's voice over there. Please go and have a look. Maybe he accidentally fell down the slope in the bamboo forest. I remember you raised a few chickens over there..."
At this moment, Jiang Yutang, who had been kicked down the dirt slope by her, had chicken shit all over his palms. He frowned in disgust, his inner rage reaching its peak. He swore fiercely, "I don't care if you're a woman, old, or young. Damn it, you'll be in trouble!"
Jiang Yutang certainly didn't want his elders to know about such a shameful thing. When he saw the nanny coming, he immediately got up and ran away. After returning home, he took a bath eight hundred times before he finally felt that he didn't stink anymore.
After that, I lay down on the bed, thinking about how to turn the game around.
He had been in the world for many years. He rarely fell into such a trap. But it was so round and soft. He turned sideways, staring at a corner of the wall. After a long moment, he called out, "Xiao Zhang! Help me investigate someone..."
Xiao Zhang was a top-tier expert in the West. He knew how to investigate someone. Within a few days, the results came in. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "Sir, I suspect the current Aunt Hu is an imposter."
Jiang Yutang, who was sitting with his legs crossed and drinking, became instantly interested when he heard this. "What did you say? Someone is pretending to be someone else? Then who is the real person?"
"Look at this! This is a piece of the imitation human skin mask that I found when I sneaked into her residence."
A few days later, Xiao Zhang, who had been watching day and night, finally gave a positive answer, "The prince is pregnant! The original body is a girl named Yan Miaoling. She is the sworn sister of Concubine Shen. This is a portrait."
Jiang Yutang, who had been lying down, sat up suddenly. After taking the portrait and examining it carefully for a moment, a cat-and-mouse play of mischievous interest appeared in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow, "Young and beautiful! This one is good. I like this one."
