The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 146: Concubine Qi is punished, and the recipe for fertility

"I heard that the Emperor dealt with all the servants who served that carriage."

Shen Meizhuang spoke.

"And didn't you notice that Concubine Qi hasn't been to pay respects to the Queen during this period?"

"You mean Concubine Qi is under house arrest?"

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang with some disbelief.

"That's right. The Emperor has punished Concubine Qi with house arrest for three months, so you haven't seen Concubine Qi these days."

"But this matter has not been made public. I guess the emperor didn't let anyone know about it because he was concerned about the reputation of the Third Prince."

Shen Meizhuang began to explain.

"Princess Qi?"

"But Concubine Qi really doesn't want someone who can do such a thing, right?"

Zhen Huan was a little bit incredulous. After all, Concubine Qi was so obviously stupid that it was hard for anyone to believe that she had the brains to do such a thing.

"There is no way I can not believe it. The Emperor has dealt with Concubine Qi. He must have found solid evidence. Otherwise, he would not treat the mother of a grown prince like this."

Shen Meizhuang didn't think there was anything strange about it. After all, one can't judge a person by his appearance. Who knows whether Concubine Qi is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?

Now she dared not look down on anyone in the palace.

"That's true."

Zhen Huan frowned, still having some doubts in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.

"However, I always feel that this matter is closely related to the Queen."

Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment, but still expressed her inner guess.

"I thought so too. After all, I followed Xiangpin down from the carriage and went to take a look. I saw Xiangpin walking over safely, and the queen acted very strangely."

Shen Meizhuang also nodded in agreement.

"Whether it was done by the Queen or not, we must be more cautious against her in the future."

Zhen Huan waved her fan and spoke in a serious tone.

"you're right."

"I've strayed off topic. I'm just telling you that we need to have a child as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, everything now is like a castle in the air, empty and hollow."

"Look, Concubine Qi made such a big mistake, but the emperor still took the Third Prince into consideration and saved Concubine Qi's face."

"Look at Concubine Hua. Even though she was extremely arrogant and domineering, she had worked so hard to gain power, but it was gone just like that. The emperor had no scruples about confining her to his house."

Shen Meizhuang was filled with emotion and became more determined to conceive the emperor's child as soon as possible.

"I wonder when we two will be able to have a child?"

Zhen Huan listened attentively, fanning herself with a round fan. Noticing a hint of disappointment on Shen Meizhuang's face, she quickly smiled and spoke to comfort her.

"How can Concubine Hua be compared to you, Sister Mei? She is usually vicious and cruel. I don't know how many people in this palace hate her."

"That's true, but what's the difference?"

Shen Meizhuang stood up and paced around the room, her eyes unconsciously sweeping over the low-key and elegant yet extraordinary decorations around her, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Huan'er, you see, because Concubine Cao has Princess Wen Yi, the Emperor will visit her more often because he misses the princess."

"Although this Concubine Xin is only a Concubine, she has always been a good person in the imperial palace. Since she is the princess's biological mother, she doesn't have to worry about being forgotten by the emperor."

"So as long as there is a child, the emperor will always care about the biological mother."

"If you only indulge in temporary favor, once the emperor gets over the novelty, he will always throw you aside."

"Don't you see how many concubines in the harem have been favored and forgotten by the emperor?"

Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan earnestly and began to persuade her.

She knew that Huan'er was now deeply in love with the emperor, and her words were undoubtedly pouring cold water on her.

But if I don't tell Huan'er about these things in advance, and let her immerse herself in the emperor's illusory favor and lose herself, the outcome will probably not be good.

"If you count carefully, my sister has been in the palace to serve the emperor for almost a year. Xiangpin entered the palace at about the same time as us. Why is there no good news from my sister yet?"

Zhen Huan knew that what Shen Meizhuang said was true, but a woman in love is always confused and unwilling to believe that the person she loves is a cold-blooded and heartless person.

She was even more unwilling to believe that she would become one of the abandoned concubines. After all, in Zhen Huan's view, the emperor's favor towards her was unique.

Although she also doted on Concubine Xiang, she did not have the same love affair with the emperor as she did, and her virginity was not taken to the palace by the emperor.

So now she is still unwilling to believe that the emperor has no true feelings for her. She firmly believes that the emperor must care about her.

"The court is busy with affairs nowadays, and the emperor can only visit the harem a few times a month."

"The emperor can only give me two or three times, and now I am helping the queen to deal with the trivial matters in the harem, which makes me even busier."

"Alas, it's useless to say all this. After all, Xiangpin is pregnant, but I still haven't received any good news."

"Maybe it's because I'm unlucky that this happens."

Shen Meizhuang sighed and looked at her flat belly with some melancholy, thinking about the day when Xiangpin rode in the same car with her and her, and her bulging belly.

Now she is estimated to be almost eight months pregnant and the baby will be born soon.

It's really enviable.

"What are you talking about, bah bah bah! Sister Mei can't talk nonsense."

"Maybe there's already a baby in my sister's belly. It would be terrible if he heard it."

Zhen Huan quickly spat several times, then looked at Shen Meizhuang's lower abdomen and said with a smile.

It was as if there really was a little person living in Shen Meizhuang's belly.

"Besides, Concubine Hua has been favored for so many years, but there is still no sign of pregnancy. How long has it been, sister?"

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang with disapproval.

She didn't even realize that Sister Mei was so distressed about this matter. She felt extremely guilty and quickly spoke to comfort her.

"We are still so young, we will have this child sooner or later. Besides, my sister is such a good person, she will definitely have many children and grandchildren."

"Huan'er, you and I have known each other since we were young. Our friendship is extraordinary. I am not afraid to let you know some things."

"It takes God's will to give birth to a dragonborn, but if there is human help, it would be a help."

Shen Meizhuang smiled mysteriously and looked at Zhen Huan and said.

"How could this be man-made? Could it be to invite more favors?"

Zhen Huan said with some curiosity.

Shen Meizhuang pursed her lips and smiled, then took out a prescription from her makeup box and handed it to Zhen Huan.

"I got this thing from Doctor Jiang. He said it can help you get pregnant as soon as possible, and it can even be a boy. Huan'er, why don't you try it too?"

Zhen Huan took the thing and looked at it, then looked at Shen Meizhuang with some suspicion.
