I thought that since Ye Jun couldn't sleep with the emperor after giving birth, there would be other concubines who could step in. Unexpectedly, there was no one else except Qian Shunrong.
For a while, there were two hot spots in the garden, one was Concubine Ming, and the other was Qian Shunrong.
It is said that this show of favor has lasted for more than a year, and now he is so cautious and humble that he has gradually begun to believe it.
She is in such a situation, not to mention the Chen family outside.
At the full moon banquet of the Sixth Prince and the Fourth Princess, Ning Chen set fire to the Duke of Ying's mansion at the right time.
At the banquet, in front of everyone, Ning Chen praised the eldest grandson of the Chen family, Chen Xianwen's son, Chen Qi, who is now eleven years old.
He also said frankly that the British Duke's Mansion had a successor.
The nature of these words makes people think deeply.
It was obvious that Chen Xianyi's expression had become a little gloomy.
After the banquet was over, Liang Chengsi and his brother-in-law took a carriage on the way back.
What he said was that how could a young boy like Chen Qi inherit the title? Chen Xianyi was inferior to him in every way except that he was born out of wedlock.
Although Chen Xianyi told his brother-in-law not to say such things, he still listened to him in his heart.
Having been the most outstanding person for so many years and being relied upon by his father in every way, it is impossible that he does not have the ambition to inherit the title.
Compared to his initial desire to make achievements and start his own business to get rid of the Chen family, now he has the opportunity to inherit the title and control the entire Duke of England's Mansion, inheriting all the connections and power under his father.
It's obvious which one is more tempting.
However, Chen Xianyi was cautious after all, and he was not overwhelmed by these few words.
But he can sit still, but Chen Xianwen, that idiot, can't sit still.
Hearing his son being praised, he was naturally happy and quickly told the news to his now-favored Li.
Li first followed his praise and then raised his own doubts.
Chen Qi was still young, his uncle Chen Xianyi was so outstanding and had a bad relationship with Chen Xianwen, and the Duke of England was also old.
If something unexpected happens and he passes away, can the powerless Chen Xianwen defeat Chen Xianyi, who already holds an official title, and save his son's title
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
In addition, Chen Xianwen had been doing nothing in recent years and was inferior to his half-brother in every way. He had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, so naturally he developed the desire to kill.
On the tenth day of June, Chen Xianyi went out for a banquet and encountered robbers on his way back.
After a fierce fight, he almost lost his life.
In the end, it was his personal attendant who drove the car at the risk of his life and helped him escape from danger.
Chen Xianwen was stupid and his actions were full of loopholes, which were soon discovered.
Unexpectedly, my brother couldn't hold back and attacked me.
His mother, Aunt Su, advised him to tell the Duke of England.
But Chen Xianyi has now gradually realized that his father's bringing his grandson to his side to teach him may not be without the intention of cultivating him.
If this matter were exposed, it would only punish Chen Xianwen and would not hurt Chen Qi.
He remembered what his brother-in-law Liang Chengsi said, and finally decided to find a way to get rid of his nephew and earn the title.
But he forgot that although Chen Xianwen was stupid, his wife Mei was powerful.
When her uncle was injured, Mei quickly guessed that it might be her husband's fault, and she found out the truth after a check.
Thinking that her husband's behavior must have angered her brother-in-law, she decided to strike first and take an unconventional approach.
So, three days after the second son of Duke Yingguo was killed by robbers, the legitimate grandson of Duke Yingguo, Chen Qi, was poisoned.
The Duke of England was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and discovered that it was Chen Xianyi who did it.
At that time, Chen Xianyi was unable to defend himself and could only say that it was his eldest brother who had robbed him a few days ago.
But Mei had already taken care of everything. After further investigation, it was found that they were indeed robbers and had nothing to do with Chen Xianwen.
For a time, because of poisoning his nephew, Chen Xianyi was severely punished by British public law and imprisoned in the ancestral hall.
By this time, Ye Jun had already completed her two-month confinement period.
On the day I left confinement, I ordered people to boil several large pots of hot water so that I could take a comfortable bath.
It was extremely hot at the end of June and the beginning of July. I felt sticky and uncomfortable every day.
Ning Chen came here only after she finished her confinement and told her about the affairs of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.
It's not that I want Ye Jun to get involved in politics or something, I just feel that Ye Jun has known about this matter from the beginning and has participated in it a bit, so it's like something they accomplished together, so naturally I want to share it.
"So, the emperor is about to close the net."
Ye Jun smiled slightly after hearing this.
"It will be soon. Now we have to start with Chen Xianyi and see if he is willing to work for me." Ning Chen smiled in a good mood.
Finally, I remembered something else.
"Now that you are the Imperial Concubine, the head of the harem, it is not right to let Concubine Jingxian manage the palace affairs. What I mean is that you will take care of all the affairs of the six palaces, and Concubine Jingxian and Concubine Rongshu will assist you."
Ye Jun nodded, "Alright, it would be inappropriate for me to be lazy now. But I have three children to raise, so I am bound to be short of energy. It would be better to let Hui Zhaoyi help out."
By now, hiding is impossible.
It is not a good thing for Concubine Jingxian to hold power.
"Well, Concubine Hui has always been close to you and is steady in her work." Ning Chen did not object.
Ye Jun added, "I think that Hui Zhaoyi has more experience than me, and she gave birth to the second princess. She has served the emperor diligently for so many years. I am already a noble concubine, but she is still a Zhaoyi. I always feel uneasy."
"Then let's promote Concubine Hui to Concubine Hui. She deserves it." Ning Chen agreed without hesitation.
Ye Jun curled his lips slightly, decided what he wanted to do, and changed the subject.
"Let's have shrimp for lunch. Let's make it spicy. I've been eating bland food during the confinement period. I'm so craving it."
Think about the confinement meal.
This soup, that soup, almost all soup. After drinking it for two months, she, who has always loved drinking soup, now asks for mercy when she sees a bowl of soup.
But after drinking it for two months, she didn't gain much weight, which shows how much she lost in production.
"You can eat spicy food, but not too spicy. You have eaten little in the past two months. If you suddenly eat something too spicy, I'm afraid your spleen and stomach won't be able to handle it." Ning Chen said.
Ye Jun nodded without any objection.
Yuan Jiu went there to give the order personally.
The kitchen is now very concerned about everything in Hibiscus Palace and starts making arrangements without any delay.
As soon as I heard it, I knew that the imperial concubine wanted to change her taste, and then I understood everything.
So at noon, the table was filled with dishes of all flavors, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, and it was obvious that a lot of thought was put into the preparation.
Ye Jun enjoyed the meal and gave generous tips to the canteen. Anyway, both sides were very happy.
Ning Chen was in a good mood seeing Ye Jun happy, so he simply put aside his official duties and stayed with her in Furong Palace for the whole day.
It is really enviable to have the emperor accompany me like this right after I came out of confinement.
Another person who is equally enviable is the newly promoted Concubine Hui.
This person really rose to fame half by standing in the right position.
Among those who are close to Ye Jun now, Concubine Hui is ranked first. Even Concubine Zhou and Zheng Wanrong, who are far away in the palace, have received some care.
