After Kangxi left, Consort Chun looked dejected and looked very bad. She was confined to her quarters indefinitely, which was no different from being banished to the cold palace.
She was still scheming about how to win favor and how to actually get pregnant, but before she could finish weaving her dream, she was confined to her quarters.
Life is unpredictable.
There's a saying that goes, "You reap what you sow!"
No sooner had Consort Chun been confined to her quarters than Emperor Kangxi immediately revealed the matter of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and naturally, he did not hide the fact that Consort Chun was carrying a fake pregnancy.
Then the harem became lively once again.
Chun agreed to have an abortion, thinking it was all over, but little did she know there was more to come. It turned out to be a false pregnancy, and it was even connected to the remnants of the previous dynasty.
After Chun was confined to her home, everyone else avoided her like the plague, but Miao went to visit Chun.
Miao Daying looked at Chun Daying, who was pale, haggard, and full of grief, and smiled with satisfaction: "I was originally praying for the child in Chun Sister's belly, hoping that he would have a peaceful journey. I didn't expect that the child was a figment of imagination. In this way, it is a good thing. After all, one less wronged soul has been lost. Don't you think so, Chun Sister?"
That's a big-headed devil. Chun wanted to push Miao into the basin right now to shut her mouth and stop her from talking.
"Is Miao Ying here to laugh at me?"
Chun replied in an unfriendly tone.
Miao Ying said with a grin, "It seems that Sister Chun knows I came to see you make a fool of yourself. It's good that you know, so I don't have to remind you. I think your joke is quite funny, so I came here specifically to see. I used to think you were quite smart, but who knew you didn't even know if you were pregnant or not. I don't know how you even got your name tag to enter the palace in the first place."
Chun agrees: ...
It's like being angry.
"Get out of here!" Chun shouted these words.
It was clear that she was really angry.
Miao was even happier to see this.
"A few months ago, Sister Chun was nitpicking and finding fault with everything because of her fake belly. I was used by her to vent my anger quite a bit. Now that my belly is flat, I can't even get back at her? What kind of logic is that? A good sister is one who gives and takes. By the way, I've said so much, why aren't you angry, Sister?"
As she spoke, Miao suddenly slapped her forehead and continued, "Look at my memory! I forgot that Sister Chun can't leave the house. No wonder she couldn't take her anger out on me; she couldn't reach her..."
Chun looked at Miao Yingying, who was laughing wildly, and wished she could kill her immediately. She would definitely repay her for such mockery and insult one day.
Miao agreed to go back only after she had ridiculed him enough.
Miao Ying was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after returning home. She had suffered a lot these past few days, and she was finally able to get rid of the pent-up anger in her heart.
As for whether Consort Chun would hold a grudge against her, the two of them were like oil and water, and they had fought fiercely in the past. Now that Consort Chun was indefinitely confined, Consort Miao naturally wouldn't care about the future.
When Youqing found out that Chun had agreed to have a fake pregnancy, she was completely stunned. And there's more to this story! A fake pregnancy, this is more dramatic than a TV series.
Her determination to escape the palace became even stronger.
The system was also quite surprised. It hadn't paid any attention to Chun's belly. It had finally gained some yang energy, so of course it didn't want to waste it on someone it didn't know.
As a result, the system failed to detect the abnormality in Chun's stomach in time.
Actually, the matter of Consort Chun was more directed at Youqing. If it weren't for Kangxi's special circumstances, anyone in Youqing's position would have suffered.
If Emperor Kangxi hadn't known that Chunyi's pregnancy was abnormal, there wouldn't have been so many subsequent "truths".
Of course, Youqing still had some thoughts in her mind. She still felt that there was something strange about the matter of Consort Chun. If she was really a remnant of the previous dynasty, why would she target a concubine who was only favored but did not even have a child?
If she were to consider things from the other party's perspective, if the remnants of the previous dynasty knew that Kangxi had a favored concubine, they certainly wouldn't do much. Having a favored concubine means that the harem will not be peaceful, and they might even add fuel to the fire by plotting against her. Wouldn't that be a futile effort?
Based on her experience watching palace dramas, the person behind this shouldn't be a remnant of the previous dynasty. As for who it is, it's really hard to say.
By mid-May, no one mentioned Chun anymore.
At this time, Youqing was still the most favored one in the harem.
Despite the lamentations from the concubines, it was no use. Emperor Kangxi was determined to favor Youqing, and no one could stop him. The only consolation for the concubines was that Youqing's belly was not bearing any fruit.
Bored with the life in the harem, Youqing couldn't go to the farm for many nights in order to keep a perfect impression on Emperor Kangxi. The farm's progress was extremely slow, and she had no interest in working. The farm's output was enough for her to be self-sufficient, so she didn't have any particular interest in that area.
However, this kind of repetitive life made Youqing feel particularly exhausted.
In novels and TV dramas, the female protagonists who time-travel always adapt very well. But when time travel actually happens to you, you realize it's not that simple.
The changes in living environment and life concepts are still barely acceptable, but looking at the same sky every day, eating and sleeping every day, she seems to see what life will be like decades from now.
The dull, monotonous, and boring life made her feel depressed.
If the female protagonist in a novel were like her, "not appreciating her good fortune," she'd probably drop the book. Couldn't she have some self-respect? Getting upset over something so trivial! The female protagonist next door was imprisoned the moment she transmigrated, and she didn't react like that! The female protagonist two days before that was slapped to the ground by the male protagonist the moment she transmigrated, but she didn't try to escape. Instead, she happily threw herself into the palace intrigue and thrived.
