Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

"Because the emperor doesn't like this palace, he doesn't like the eighth prince." The queen said absentmindedly.

"Your Majesty, you are the Queen of the Middle Palace, and the Eighth Prince is the adopted son of the Middle Palace. Behind you are the Fucha clan and the Ulanara clan. You are the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne." Grandma Chen whispered.

"I promised Concubine Shun's father that if the eighth prince inherits the throne, the Fucha family will still be the legitimate mother clan of the eighth prince, and the queen of the middle palace will definitely be born in the Fucha family. But this palace will become the harem The unique empress dowager." The queen said solemnly, her eyes full of ambition.

These words were so shocking that Grandma Chen did not dare to answer them.

"But the eighth prince has been raised by my side since he was a child. How can I let him get close to the Fucha family? Even the future queen will have the final say." The queen stretched out her hand to caress the sleeping eighth prince. said with a smile on his face.

Then he tucked up the quilt for Eighth Prince, got up and left.

Returning to the inner chamber, the queen sat down in front of the lamp.

"Your Majesty Jin, she just needs some beatings. Even if she is a ferocious beast, her wings and claws were given to her by me, and I can take them back anytime, anywhere." The queen's eyes were deep.

"Jin Gui is indeed more scheming than Qi Gui, but Qi Gui has a higher background." Grandma Chen continued.

"If someone with a good family background can be favored, how can Yan Guiren be given a first-class position in the palace? If Guarjia doesn't learn to be smarter, even if I promote her, it will be useless."

"Nowadays, Rui Gui, Jin Gui, and Qi Gui are favored. With them here, the empress will have less work to do."

"Since Mrs. Zhen left the palace, I have felt much more comfortable. Although Mrs. Nian is still favored and gave birth to her ninth elder brother, the family has collapsed and her body has also collapsed. I have seen her pulse, and the imperial doctor said Nian often suffers from redness, and if this continues, it is not a sign of longevity."

The Queen slowly took off her armor and revealed a sinister smile.

"Who else in this palace now has the strength to fight against me?"

"What the empress is saying is, that noble gentleman..." Grandma Chen said thoughtfully.

"She is easier to handle after all. You can give her some advice someday. She is a smart person."

After several autumn rains, the sky became colder and colder. Since the late autumn, Concubine Nian of Yikun Palace and Jinguiren of Qixiang Palace have reported illness one after another. Jinguiren has stayed in the palace to recuperate every day, rarely going out.

Those who are favored in the palace are still the same ones, Yan Gui and Rui Gui are the most favored, followed by Qi Gui and Chun Gui, and the rest are mediocre.

When winter came, the Queen Mother also fell ill, and the concubines of the Sixth Palace took turns attending to the illness. However, no matter who was attending the illness, concubine Hui would always serve in Shoukang Palace most of the time.

Hui Bin served the Empress Dowager with all her heart, and she was also familiar with the pulse chart and the pharmacy. Even when the emperor came over sometimes, he would ask Hui Bin how the Queen Mother's pulse was now, what kind of medicine she used, how effective it was, etc.

Such filial piety was obvious to all the Sixth Palace, even the Queen was inferior to her. The Emperor also changed his view of Hui Concubine a lot because of this.

After Hui concubine gave birth, the emperor only felt that she was not as gentle and gentle as before, and she was cold when serving the emperor. Over time, he thought that Hui concubine had a grudge in her heart, and he did not like to go to Zhongcui Palace.

But since the Queen Mother became ill this time, I saw Hui concubine waiting at the Queen Mother's bedside every day, personally offering decoctions and medicines. The weather is getting better, and even Princess Jinghe is staying in Shoukang Palace every day.

In the days when the Empress Dowager's condition worsened, Concubine Hui also moved the palace affairs to Shoukang Palace. The emperor was very moved by this.

It was late winter until the Queen Mother's condition improved somewhat.

The concubine Hui Yangxin requested an edict to leave the palace and go to Ganlu Temple to pray for the Queen Mother for one month, hoping that the Queen Mother would be healthy and blessed forever. The emperor immediately discussed the matter with the queen mother. The queen mother was moved to tears on the hospital bed and said bluntly that Hui concubine was fulfilling her filial piety for the emperor and queen and ordered the emperor not to treat her unfairly.

On the fifteenth day of the winter lunar month, Hui Concubine was ordered to leave the palace and go to Ganlu Temple to pray for the Queen Mother for one month.

The emperor, empress, and concubines of the Sixth Palace sent them off.

The weather was freezing and the mountain road was difficult to travel, so the Empress Dowager specially ordered Aunt Zhuxi of Shoukang Palace to personally deliver the silver fox fur cloak that the late Emperor had given to the Empress Dowager when she was the concubine.

Concubine Hui said goodbye to the emperor and empress, then glanced at Princess Jinghe in the concubine's arms, then turned around and got into the carriage given by the emperor, heading towards Ganlu Temple.

In Xianfu Palace, Xia Dongchun and Concubine Jing were sitting around the charcoal basin. The sixth prince beside him was teasing Princess Jinghe who was dressed cutely in Yuxue with great interest.

"When Concubine Hui returns to the palace to pray for blessings, she will be crowned concubine by the Chinese New Year at the latest. However, Sister Jingfei still has to work harder these days and takes Princess Jinghe to the Shoukang Palace." Xia Dongchun whispered.

"Compared with Hui Bin going to Ganlu Temple to pray for blessings, this little hard work is nothing," Concubine Jing said with a smile, "It's just that what Concubine Chang does is more important, so we must ensure it is thorough."

"Sister Concubine Jing, don't worry. Earlier, Concubine Hui recommended Dr. Wen to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother's condition. The prescription in my hand is specifically for the Queen Mother's old age, frailty, and lack of righteousness. Yesterday I personally Give it to Dr. Wen and ask him to study it carefully, not only to suit the Queen Mother's constitution, but also to make careful plans to make sure everything is foolproof." Xia Dongchun lowered his voice again and said.

Concubine Jing nodded when she heard this, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"One more thing. Now that Concubine Hui is not in the palace, my sister has to take care of two children. She cannot relax in palace affairs. Everything else can be left alone. There is only one place that my sister must try to hold on to." Xia Dongchun said solemnly.

Concubine Jing looked at her doubtfully.

"Qin Tianjian." Xia Dongchun said firmly.

"But the current envoy of Qin Tian Jian is the Queen's employee."

"It was only after I suffered at the hands of the Queen from the Qintian Prison that I realized how important this affiliation is. It is true that the Qintianjian's envoy is the queen's person, but the deputy envoy has been suppressed by him for a long time. If he has ambitions, it will be difficult to relax. Sister, I might as well start here, win over the deputy envoy, and find an opportunity to bring down the queen's people." Xia Dongchun said methodically.

"According to what my sister said, this palace will try to implement the matter one month after Hui Concubine leaves the palace. My sister must also be careful about everything." Concubine Jing thought for a moment and then said.

Xia Dongchun looked into Concubine Jing's slightly worried eyes with a smile, patted her hand to express comfort, and then stood up to leave.

After leaving Xianfu Palace, I met Yan Guiren.

When Yan Guiren saw Xia Dongchun coming out of the Concubine Jing Palace, he greeted her warmly.

"Greetings to Concubine Chang." Yan Guiren saluted.

"No courtesy, Mr. Yan. It's so cold. Where are you going, Mr. Yan?" Xia Dongchun said politely.

"I had nothing to do, so I wanted to go out for a walk, and I happened to run into the empress. I wonder if I could give her a cup of hot tea?" Yan Guiren said with a smile.

Xia Dongchun's face froze. She was just saying a few polite words and really didn't want to have anything to do with this mysterious Yan Gui. But when the words came to this point, it was naturally difficult to refuse.

"As long as Mr. Yan doesn't dislike it, there will be plenty of hot tea in the Yanxi Palace."
